Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Add a mountinfo program to demonstrate statmount()/listmount()

   Add a new "mountinfo" sample userland program that demonstrates how
   to use statmount() and listmount() to get at the same info that
   /proc/pid/mountinfo provides

 - Remove pointless nospec.h include

 - Prepend statmount.mnt_opts string with security_sb_mnt_opts()

   Currently these mount options aren't accessible via statmount()

 - Add new mount namespaces to mount namespace rbtree outside of the
   namespace semaphore

 - Lockless mount namespace lookup

   Currently we take the read lock when looking for a mount namespace to
   list mounts in. We can make this lockless. The simple search case can
   just use a sequence counter to detect concurrent changes to the
   rbtree

   For walking the list of mount namespaces sequentially via nsfs we
   keep a separate rcu list as rb_prev() and rb_next() aren't usable
   safely with rcu. Currently there is no primitive for retrieving the
   previous list member. To do this we need a new deletion primitive
   that doesn't poison the prev pointer and a corresponding retrieval
   helper

   Since creating mount namespaces is a relatively rare event compared
   with querying mounts in a foreign mount namespace this is worth it.
   Once libmount and systemd pick up this mechanism to list mounts in
   foreign mount namespaces this will be used very frequently

     - Add extended selftests for lockless mount namespace iteration

     - Add a sample program to list all mounts on the system, i.e., in
       all mount namespaces

 - Improve mount namespace iteration performance

   Make finding the last or first mount to start iterating the mount
   namespace from an O(1) operation and add selftests for iterating the
   mount table starting from the first and last mount

 - Use an xarray for the old mount id

   While the ida does use the xarray internally we can use it explicitly
   which allows us to increment the unique mount id under the xa lock.
   This allows us to remove the atomic as we're now allocating both ids
   in one go

 - Use a shared header for vfs sample programs

 - Fix build warnings for new sample program to list all mounts
